Easily entered full casting PrCs?
« on: March 23, 2013, 04:31:32 AM »
I'm a LN human wizard 2/binder 1/anima mage 10. I'm going to take fatespinner for my next level... unless someone suggests something better? I could choose one different feat to enter something with an easy prereq if necessary. I can't take escalation mage because I'm unwilling to worship a CE deity.

The DM banned incantatrix (well, really, he worded it more like 'this will be encouraging stronger enemies if you take this class'), so don't suggest it, even though it's so good.

Ruathar from RotW makes good filler. It's only 3 levels long, though.

If you don't mind spending a feat:

Divine Oracle - Trap sense, evasion, unanny dodge and a domain.
Earth Dreamer - Earth glide and some additional divination stuffs.
Fleshwarper - neat stuff but needs familiar and loses a spellcasting level.
Loremaster - I'm guessing you've got three metamagic feats.

For Divine Oracle & Loremaster that require Skill Focus(Knowledge[something]), I faintly remember that a magical location would grant a skill focus, but I'm not sure.

Can we get a list of feats you have (or know you're going to have)?

Mage of the Arcane Order is pretty decent, costs you a wasted feat (Cooperative Spell) to get in, but you get two bonus metamagic feats as you level along with a solid selection of side benefits.

Blood Magus is also nice for four levels, especially if your DM allows you to use Improved Toughness

Fate Spinner is easy to qualify for and if you only take 4 levels you loose no spellcasting level hit.

Geometer isn't too hard to qualify for, if you've got the skill points laying around.

Mindbender. Mindsight is beyond fantastic.

EDIT: And I am totally incapable of typing a coherent sentence, it seems.

I already get mindsight via Zceryll and my binder levels.

The classes listed here are easy to enter, even if the combo itself costs more feats than you'd like.

If you don't mind changing some of your choices to include the Spell Focus [illusion], Earth Sense, Heighten Spell and Earth Spell feats...

Three levels of Shadowcraft Mage (with the cabal adaptation to alter the racial entry requirement) and two levels of Wyrm Wizard can net you "Shadow Miracles" if the second level of Wyrm Wizard (which doesn't advance your spellcasting) is taken after you're capable of casting 9th level arcane spells.

Arcane Disciple wouldn't work for you, given that there aren't any LN deities with the luck, hope or zeal domain that I know of offhand.

Paragnostic Apostle is a nice filler for looking to improve the CL of spells that appear on selected domains with the Divine Understanding feature (i.e. selecting the illusion and/or gnome domain to boost the CL of Silent Image) or to improve spell penetration and dispelling checks via the Penetrating Insight feature.  Plus, membership in the Paragnostic Assembly is a good way to boost spellcraft checks and fuel Knowledge Devotion with Skill Mastery of all Knowledge skills.

I would also suggest a Cloistered Cleric dip (worshiping ideals and not a diety) to obtain Extend Spell again (planning domain) and Knowledge Devotion again (trade away knowledge domain).... so you can ask your DM to let you get other feats instead.  For this level, I would also suggest taking the cleric class flaw Divine Gestures to gain an extra feat. That flaw makes it so your divine spells incur spell failure as if they were arcane.
